Massacre To Revisit Early 90s Classics and ‘Mantas’ Demo With New Re-Recordings

Florida death metal pioneers Massacre are set to breathe new life into their early 90s material with a re-recorded compilation of tracks from From Beyond and Inhuman Condition. The band will also tackle Mantas’ Death By Metal demo, connecting Kam Lee’s past work with Death to their present.

Speaking about the project, Lee emphasized the reverence behind revisiting these songs:

“I understand that re-recording these songs may make some fans uncomfortable. These tracks come from a specific time in our history, and nothing can ever replace the original recordings. Those versions are sacred, and they will always be there for fans to go back to.

This was never about erasing the past or trying to outdo it. It comes from respect—for the songs, for the fans, and for what this music has meant over the years. This release is simply a celebration of those classic tracks, revisited with the experience, passion, and intensity that still drives us today.

The originals remain untouched. This exists alongside them, not instead of them. This release is about honoring that legacy – revisiting songs that still mean everything to me and that still burn just as fiercely today. To the fans who have stood by Massacre all these years: this is for you. Take it as it’s intended—not as a replacement, but as a celebration. Thank you for keeping this music alive.”

In addition to studio work, Massacre plan to bring these re-recorded classics to life on stage during this year’s Kill-Town Death Fest XI, set for September 3rd–6th in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Lee also shared his thoughts on revisiting Mantas’ early 80s demo material:

“I’m extremely proud of the material we’ve created. These songs hold a significant place in the history and culture of death metal’s origins. Massacre’s goal is to pay homage to this material through live performances and re-recordings, securing its lasting impact. My focus is on showcasing this material in a positive light with top-notch musicians executing these songs impeccably. To all my fans who’ve supported me throughout the years, thank you!”

This collection promises to be a celebration of Massacre’s legacy, honoring the formative years of death metal while giving fans a fresh way to experience some of the genre’s most influential tracks.
